Had that problem. I used one of 365 drills set to enlarge the hole to take a 1/2" valve!

i use pts and city plumbing they normaly give good prices on most things except fittings - end up going plumfix or take my plumbfix catalouge in the merchants with me and show them the price difference most times they reduce their prices to somewhere near.i have noticed some times in ptd its cheaper to but 50 or a 100 fittings rather than 20 but they wont tell you that .

Went to a local merchant the other day for a bayonet fixing £6.50 and a cooker chain £4.50 (£11).
Pllumbfix around £4.50 the lot grrrrrrrr!!!!! Could of cried.

4th straight bayonet hoses are a bargain in Wickes £32.99 check their website if you think I'm making this up...

Williams Trade (down South) are reasonable and fairly consistent as far a pricing goes. Local Merchant can be good for obscure items, but tend to be expensive - paid £28.38 for a Metro round flush valve!

Been using Williams & co for some time now - massive difference in price to plumb ctr & some of the others round this
way.

Everyone say local independants are cheaper but mine isn't, I stopped going there 2 years ago due to high prices accross the range. I keep seing him around and I feel guilty but what can I do.

My PTS is okay but as said expensive on fittings, I have to buy online though as I never have time to go and stand behind that numpty in the queue who has a long list and messes about.

I'd buy online but because I live in the sticks, we have to queue to use the internet down our lane ...

Started buying from Trading Depot over the internet. Prices seem better than PLumbfix at the moment.

Whats the quality like on the copper tube 51.30 + vat on 30m of 15 is good.

Plumbing Supplies | BES Gas & Plumbing Fittings best place for fittings, ask them to post a catalogue, get an account.

Ring up with an order, make sure it's over £40 and you get next day delivery.

Don't know about the rest of the country, but around the North east, DHL are bloody awful, don't deliver to neighbours even when on the delivery note so I specify Tufnells, and they do it.
